U.S. Senate Republican Whip John Thune: "Low likelihood of a weekend vote"

On the 2nd (local time), according to economic breaking news channel Walter Bloomberg, John Thune, the Senate Republican Whip, said the Senate is unlikely to vote on the budget bill over the weekend.

Earlier, the U.S. Congress failed to pass the budget due to disagreements between the Republican and Democratic parties over the issue of health insurance subsidies, and as a result the federal government entered a shutdown (temporary work stoppage) starting October 1.
